Anyone have access to the article? What I would be most interested in is what the "sub-leathal pesticide environment within the colony" looks like. Are these free flying bees? Are they being fed? How large are the colonies? ...most importantly, what was the sub-lethal concentration of imidacloprid, and how was it administered...and how does this relate to what bees are exposed to in the field?
